English Series (1958 – 1966)
In 1958, the centavo notes were discontinued and a new, entirely base metal coinage was introduced, consisting of bronze 1 centavo, brass 5 centavos and nickel-brass 10, 25 and 50 centavos. The half-peso ceased to exist; the 25-centavo coin replaced the 20-centavo note; 50-, 10- and 5-centavo denominations were maintained. This series was considered demonetized after August 31, 1979, except for the 10-centavo denomination that remained in circulation until 1998.

Pilipino Series (1967 – 1974)
In 1967, the coinage was altered to reflect the use of Filipino names for the currency units. The “Pilipino” coins bore portraits/profiles of Filipino heroes with legends inscribed in Pilipino, the national language. New one-piso coins were put in circulation to replace the one-peso notes. The coins were demonetized after January 2, 1998.

Ang Bagong Lipunan (1975 - 1982)
In 1975, the "Ang Bagong Lipunan" series was introduced with different designs, specifications and denominational
mix from the Pilipino series. Aluminum replaced bronze and cupro-nickel replaced nickel-brass coins. The 5-piso coin was introduced while the 50-sentimo coin was deleted in the series. The entire series of ABL coins were also demonetized on January 2, 1998.

Improved Flora and Fauna Series (1991 – 1994)
The sizes of the coins were reduced in 1991 thus the Flora Fauna Series was renamed Improved
Flora and Fauna. Along with this improvement is the introduction of 5-piso coin to replace the 5-piso banknotes and save on the cost of printing considering that 5-piso notes worn out easily. Eventually in
1994, the production of 50-sentimo and 2-piso coins were stopped.
